Gluten free cheesy pizza crust (pão de queijo)
Pizza
Italian cuisine
Friends of mine who have celiac are constantly in search of good pizza. But some of the strange alternative crusts out there just look so... dry. I was stumped. Then I woke up one morning thinking about cheese bread. <br /> <br />Have you ever had cheese bread? It is a delicious snack I got hooked on by way of my Brazilian boyfriend's family. It's called Pão de Queijo. Fun fact, it's naturally gluten free. <br /> <br />I wondered what the dough would be like as a crust, and let me tell you–it is so good. This pizza isn't aspiring to be a classic pizza, but it will satisfy a craving for something warm and cheesy. <br /> <br />Keep in mind that this isn’t health food, but everyone should have access to pizza every now and then. <br /> <br />As a starting point, I was able to read a cheese bread recipe handwritten in Portuguese by my boyfriend's grandmother who lives in Rio de Janeiro. After experimenting with the dough in pizza-style, I made some changes to suit the new form.
